A new child advocacy center
opened in Blair County Today to
ease the trauma for abuse
children during an
investigation. It's called the
Center for Child Justice.
It incorperates law enforcement,
medical exams and forensic
exams all under one roof.
Before today children had to be
transferred to centers and
other counties.
"For the people working in
the systems this is very
necessary. It's such a difference to
tell a family oh we are just
down the street in Altoona
instead of we are going to
have to figure out a way to
transport you to Bellefonte."
The center is just one of
several changes for child welfare
in Blair county.
